IKEA's spokesperson in Poland, Aleksandra Sikora, confirmed that talks are currently underway with Ikano, which now operates in Europe, Singapore and Malaysia.

Ikano's group revenue in 2008 totaled €2.9 billion. IKEA, which reported a group income of €21.2 billion in the year ending August 31, 2009, operates 267 stores worldwide, eight of which are in Poland.
